Its so easy these days to bring things to peoples attention Ken.kennyc wrote:thank you for your reply Karen, however I feel it highlights the NRA's Myopia to communication with their members, I can now see the safety notice,but only because you have gone above and beyound to bring it to my attention! however I have just been over my emails, and I see no warning message ! it is simplicity itself to copy/paste the notices, or attach the .pdf to a global email and send it to all members, it is already done with NRA news letters, and special action mails such as the recent petition notices.karen wrote:Kenny - the NRA DO have a robust system of incident reporting in place. However incidents take time to investigate fully and if there is a warning to be given then it is promulgated widely as soon as possible (see the recent warning http://www.nra.org.uk/common/asp/conten ... RA&id=1475 )
Once there has been a full investigation on these incidents then I am sure members and non-members will be told.
Karen I am not getting at you, I appreciate that you are being open and helpful in bringing your knowledge of the way that the NRA operates to a wider audience.
I will put my hands up and say I almost never look at the NRA site, I find it clunky and a pain to navigate, however I do always look at emails I receive, and I suspect I am not alone in this.safety messages are only useful if they are detailed and READ! and just putting them onto the site is not the most effective way to bring them to the notice of the membership.
Since the system changed the only thing I have been able to do is book targets. The range office are great, but I have tried several times to get my log in sorted with the IT bods, one of which is very short on people skills but grunts quiet well. It appears I may have 2 email addresses in there but the great and the good never seem to be able to sort it.
Best moan more I reckon because there is no reason why it shouldn't work well.
